Merino Fleece Quality Control.

Australian wool producers receive guidelines and standards from peak Livestock and Wool bodies that clearly outline our requirements and obligations for Australian wool preparation and livestock production.

Australian Wool Exchange (AWEX) registered wool classers are internationally recognised as trained professionals in wool classing and wool preparation of Australian wool.

Our professional wool classer prepares and classes our wool clip according to Australian wool industry Code of Practice (COP) with their AWEX registered classer stencil on the wool bale.

Wool Grower Commitment

At Barega our superfine merino fleece quality control is paramount and is addressed in two main areas of our wool enterprise, firstly on farm and secondly in the wool shed.

1. On farm:

Complete transparency with full traceability of all treatments administered to Barega merino sheep.

Australian wool and animal welfare guidelines and customer quality assurance programs are fully embraced. A reflection of who we are and is part of the way we care and interact with our merinos and respect of our land.

Environmental sustainability under pins all our activities on at Barega from holistic grazing management through to our merino sheep breeding program and sheep handling and husbandry practices.

We have a commitment to our environment to protect our landscape and enhance our natural ecosystems with ongoing regeneration activities on the land, pasture and water ways. These environmental values and activities are an integral part of the identity and brand of Barega merino superfine wool.

2. Wool preparation in the shed:

The shed and merino sheep are presented in a way to minimise contamination on the board and wool table.

Information including previous wool results, animal health, buyer specifications and market outlook are on hand to assist with wool preparation during the shearing.

The wool shed is staffed with a skilled team of shearers, a superfine wool classer specialist and wool handlers experienced in the extra wool preparation for a superfine merino clip.

Each merino fleece is individually prepared according to the Australian Wool Exchange Limited (AWEX) guidelines, Australian Superfine Wool Association and buyer specifications.
